* Comparatively little definite information exists in regard to the range of adapta- 

 bility of different persimmon varieties. This list includes the principal sorts that are 

 planted in the South Atlantic and Gulf States. Tanenashi is probably gro\vn more 

 extensively at present than any other sort. The Eureka has proved especially hardy 

 and desirable in Erath County, Tex., about sixty miles southwest of Fort Worth, and 

 also at one or two points considerably farther north. The Tamopan is a Chinese 

 variety and may possess a greater degree of hardiness than was formerly supposed. 

 Zengi is one of the earliest varieties. Costata and Ormond may be too late for grow- 

 ing in most parts of district 4. 



' Gailey and Masugata are not of much value for their fruit, but, unlike the other 

 varieties, the trees have both pollen-bearing and fruit-producing blossoms. As a rule, 

 these two types of blossoms are borne on separate trees. While some varieties pro- 

 duce fruit without pollination, others do not; hence, in planting any large number of 

 persimmons it is advisable to include a pollen-producing sort. 



* The Celeste is regarded as the hardiest variety of this group, with Turkey perhaps 

 only slightly less hardy. The former is much rnore Avidely planted than any of the 

 others in the list. These two sorts should be planted in district 4 in preference to 

 the others, unless possibly in a few especially favorable localities. 



*The Magnolia is planted in the Gulf coast region of Texas nearly to the exclusion 

 of other varieties. It is not satisfactory in other parts of district 5, except possibly 

 in the southwestern part of Louisiana.
